Sore Ewes

The eyes are always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of its condition. When the eyes become
weak, and the lids infiamed and sore, it
is an evidence that the system has
become disordcred by Scrofula, for
which Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best
known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced painful in
hammatiOn in my eyes, caused me much
suffering for q number of years. BY the
advice of Il physician commenced taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. After using this
medicine short time was completely
Cured
My eyes arc now in a splendid condi-
ton, and am as well and strong as ever.
Mrs. William Gage, Concord, n. Fl.
For number of years was troubled
with humOr in my eyes, and was unable
to obtain any relief until l commenced
using Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medi-
cine has effected q complete cure, and I
believe it TO be the best Of blood puri-
fiers.-C. Z. Upton, Nashua, n. II.

Ayers Sarsaparilla, and consider it a
great blood purifier. - Mrs. &. Phillips,
Glover, Vt.
I suffered for year with inhamma-
ton in my left eye. Three ulcers formed
on the ball, dcnriving me Of sight, and
causing great pain. After trying many
other remedies, to no purpose, was final
ly induced to use Ayers Sarsaparilla.
BY I Taking
three bottles of this medicine have been
entirely cured. My sight has been re-
stored, and there is 10 sign of infiamma-
ton. sore, or ulcer in my eye. - Kendall
T. Bowen, Sugar Tree Ridge, Ohio.
Ny daughter, ten years old, was afflict-
ed with Scrofulous Sore Eyes. During
the last two years she never saw light of
any kind. Physicians of the highest
standing exerted their skill, but with no
permanent success. On the recommen-
dalton of a friend I purchased a bottle of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, which my daughter
commenced taking. Before she had used
the third bottle her sight was restored.

Mr.. Baldwin remained in New York
q few days after this before going West.
What he has to say about this feat
may prove of intere to the very large
number who will never know from ex-
perience what such journey means.
"What led you into this hazardous
kind of feat?" was quite o natural
question to begin with.

daring. 1 have been gymnast per-
former for some time, and also tight
rope walker. was very much inter
ested in ballooning. and accounts which
/ read of several descents from them
by means Of parachutes took my fancy.
A Frenchman did il all right, but an
Englishman tried il and came to grief.
He was killed. The parachute col
lapsed. l gave the matter good deal
of thought, trying to work out the
thing. Then l practiced before at
tempting the very high jump. There
is scientific principle enough in the feat
to see what the effect ought to be oi
such an experiment.. But there Is
enough uncertainty about it TO make il
little dangerous. There is always
the possibility of the parachutes col
lapsiDg, and il il does that at any
height, why, it would be miracle If a
fellow escaped death. He would get
crushed TO pieces when he struck the
ground"
What sort Of parachute do you
use?"
i have used several kinds. have
them made of Wamsutta muslin, and
without any ribs. Sometimes they
have seven or eight ribs. IL is about
sixteen or eighteen feet in diameter.
The cords which are attached to IL

THE ARMY.
Annual Report of Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan
RecOmme ndations.

Annual Report of Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan
Recommendations.
Lieut.. Gen. p. H. Sheridan has presented his
annual report to the Secretary OF War. From
the report it appears that at the date OF the last
consoli dated returns the army consisted OF
1900 officers and ~, ,236 men, including Indian
scouts The Lieutenant General briefly sums
up the condition of the various divisions OF the
army and of the Division of the Missouri says
that while il has been free from Indian hostili-
ties Of any magnitude, many operations Of a
minor nature have been rendered necessary.
Troops have been continually occupied in
patrolling the Oklahoma country ana have
been successful in keeping intruders out of
that region. The gradual spread Of rail-
USUS however ultimately have but % one effect,
and Gen. Sheridan is Of opinion that Congress
may well consider the advisability Of opening
up reservations, at least OF this country, to set
trouble occurring on the Crow Indian Reserva-
tion in Montana and its settlement by Gen.
Ruger. In order to quiet the restless young
men among the Crow Indians, the report says,
Gen. Ruger has been authorized TO enlist about
thirty of their number as scouts and take them
to Fort Custer. The Crows have always been
friendly and make IL q boast that they have
never killC q white man, and it would be a
great pity IL anything should now occur to dis
turb the peaceful relations OF so long standing,
and Gen Sheridan is confident that Gen. Ruger
will be able to effect n permanent settlement
that will be satisfactory TO the Crows as well as
TO the Government.
the larger posts the report says that the wor (
on the new post at Denver, where il is pro-
posed to place ten companies, Will shortly DO
commenced that at San Antonio hos been pro-
crossing favorably during the year; the
ground for the new post noar Chicago will
pass into tho possession of the Government
at an early day; and at Fort Smelling
both the reservation and other. attendant con-
ditions are favorable for the establish
ment OF large garrison, and only some
additional buildings are required for their
aoo 0d affOn- Tho rocOnatruCtiOu Of
Fort Riley has been actively prosecuted
during the year, but before it can be
completed additional appropriations will be
necessary. No other post in the country pos
sesses such advantages for the location OF a
school OF practice for light batteries and foI
cavalry exercises, and since its establishment
for these purposes has been authorized by Con
Rress IL has been deemed but true economy tc
erect only buildings of substantial and per
manent nature, 30 that with the new equipment
of breech- loading steel field guns, metal car
riages, and improved harness now being manu-
factured by tno Ordnance Department, the ser
vice will probably derive marked benefit from
this station for n number Of years.

PROF. GUSTAV RET Ius has chapter
in his sketches of Finland respecting
the uses which tho Finn sh people make
of birch bark. Shoes are made OF it..
The bark, having been peeled, is cut
into strips, rolled up carefully and put
away for future use When the Finnish
peasant wants pair of new shoes he
takes out one of his rolls, cuts it up
into strii of su table width, soaks it in
water to soften it, and then weaves it
into the form he desires. 1t is all done
very rapidly, half-hour or less some
times sufficing for the whole work.
Many other uses are found for birch
bark. The sheath in which the peas
ant carries his inseparable knife is
made of it. 1t is woven into pockets or
bags of various sizes, which are used
all over Finland. Birch bark is made
into salt tubs, cords and lines, brushes
for washing out wooden vessels, boxes,
sieves, and tubs, and many other
articles for VIII ch we rso wood or
basket material.

Commodore Wilson says;
-They are now considerable expense TO the
navy. as they must be taken care of, and, not
being In proper repair, they are OF no use TO the
country. II these vessels are TO be kept ON the
naval list they should be placed In perfect re-
pair and be fitted with such modern rides as
months all Of these vessels could be put in the
same state OF efficiency as they were at the
time OF their construction at an expenditure OF
about 100000. This would give thirteen coast
defense vessels actually available, armed with
15-inch smooth-bore guns. These guns could
DO replaced as rapidly as possible ~ rides. By
no other means could the same amount Of
money be spent to give the country such valu-
able return"
In conclusion the report says:
"The outlook for the navy in the near future
Is a very hopeful one. and with the completion
OF the vessels now projected the navy will con-
sist OF a number Of modern vessels admirably
adapted nd to the varied needs Of the service
vessels now building and those lately COM
pleted shows that our ship-builders are able to
world. '' -
"The establishment of the gun factory at
Washington and Introduction by the Bethlehem
iron. works of plant to furnish heavy armor
and gun forgings make the United States alb
solutely independent OF other countries in the
construction and armament OF her ships of war
and IL the work OF rebuilding the navy is only
kept up as 1t is now going we shall soon have a
navy that will be a credit as well as protec-
tion to our country and our country's interests.
Tables attached to the report show the exact
condition Of every vessel In the navy. This
table shows that in three years we shall have
twenty-one Of the wooden vessels remaining. in
six years but four, and in nine years the
tire wooden navy will have disappeared.
